3. Contact us to begin a home loan application
Firstly, we will review your circumstances to ensure you are eligible for a home loan. Then we will apply to multiple lenders if desired by you, giving you the choice and freedom to select the lender that’s chosen by you.
We will also structure your loan so you can pay it off faster than the standard time frame given by most lenders allowing you avoid paying in unnecessary interest costs, if possible and according to your capacity.
4. Search for your ideal house
When searching for your dream home, do not limit your focus to checking out interior and exterior of the house. You’ll need to take many other issues into consideration when making your final decision.
5. Make an offer on the house
6. Finalise your home loan with the bank
Now that you’ve satisfied the conditions established by the bank at the time of the pre-approval, such as providing a copy of the sale purchase agreement, valuation report, building inspection report as well as a rental appraisal (if it’s an investment property) the bank will give you the green light to go ahead to start preparing to take over your new property.
At this point, the bank will offer you their terms and conditions for the loan. These will include interest rates, term of the loan, indicative loan repayments, and any cash contribution to cover the legal and other expenses that you’ve incurred so far.
7. Choose the right home loan options
This is the most important step in the entire process.The structure of your loan will determine how long it will take you to completely repay your loan. This is also where you can compare the deals from various banks to see whether you’re getting the best deal available.
